For some songs, you can indeed embellish the chord playing to make the 'lead verse' stand out more. If you're a strictly strummer-type player, this may not be an option (and it also doesn't work on every song) - in which case, you have to skip the 'lead verse'. You can repeat the first verse, if that works for the song, or do an extra chorus, but, yes, often times you end up with a lot of 2 minute 30 second songs.
